Probably in the future, there will be something.

Too bad the water is not going right into Murray to the water level so I could pitch Tokyo rigs into tulles like I used to years ago. That’s not happening because they can’t raise the water over a certain level now at Murray so it’ll never be like it was about three years ago. Anyway, nice seeing a ...

Nice Dan

It seems like forever since I fished Murray so I decided to head over and see what's happening.
Used reaction baits for a few active bass up near the surface, I stuck a little too long using reaction baits as overall there was not much surface action this morning and the sun was up early. I then ...

Nice job Vinny I will b throwing a craw haven’t got bit on it last week 🎣👍


It’s kind of a hit or miss with craw baits, but I’ve caught many healthier bass over those years on them and creature baits. It seems they work best when you toss them over rocky areas or areas with structure. At Murray ...

Hi all,

Quick report on Saturday's proceedings. Met Chris @Pourboy and Brad and Ryan dark and early, bright was a few hours away. Cooler morning, about 55F, water still pleasant at 68 F. Slight south wind. We all headed out to the main lake body and started getting them on jigs, plastics and some ...

Nice job Dan. Great to see some healthier fish, other than a bunch of clones lately for us.

Very nice Robert!

Wow, no freezing weather… yay!!!
I got cold looking at your last post ha ha ha.
Anyway, those are some great pics as always, and looks like you’re having a lot of fun out there.
Walking around the fish and catching them almost every cast sounds like a dream. Thank you for sharing your adventures ...

From a source in Ramona, I guess he takes pictures of birds and other animals mostly.

I could fish Lake Murray roughly 20 times vs one time on the round trip distance going from my house to the Lake of D & K, but it is always a fun adventure which makes it worth it. And besides, it is always a pleasure to run into fellow SDFish folks like Fisheromen and Mcfish . Started off kind of ...

I was there bank fishing to the left of the launch ramp and saw you guys come in. Heard something like float tube vs air craft carrier :).
Seemed like the ranger just wanted to talk and talk and talk. I left with 8 from the bank in 2 1/2 hours, biggest like 2 1/2#


Oh that is funny! The Ranger ...

Same guy! He's a regular on Ramona wildlife websites! He has some good photos...if they are actually his......


You might laugh, but birding is a highly competitive pastime and there is some amount of fame and fortune for the top birders and their pics and species observed. Would it surprise ...

Nice to read about you guys adventures on one of my favorite lakes. I sure miss that place, and those green fishies.


That brings back memories for me because I remember when you and a couple of the guys would always post things about lake Sutherland on the old Sdfish. It was always funny to see ...

I should probably call it “Lago McFish” like
@JWall suggested because he has that lake wired.

Ouch!
Glad you were able to get out and still fish and catch some bass.
Thanks for sharing and look forward to more posts.
Tight lines.

This is so sad that the time is coming when
boats can’t launch and nobody can do anything about it.

It's such a great lake! Glad you had a fun time=D


Many decades ago my father and I would drive right by the entrance of Sutherland and head to Lake Henshaw. Caught many bass at
Henshaw mostly using Creme plastic worms, Bombers, Waterdogs(a hard bait( and Sonics. Then I went with a buddy a few ...

Bass fishing on a holiday looks like you had a lot
I guess I always try to avoid holidays to go fishing, but real fishermen like yourself don’t get scared off. Glad you were able to launch and in between catching bass, I bet that catfish was quite a fight.
Thank you so much for sharing and tight ...

Exactly!
We all have had some type of issues with our fishing vessels at one time or another, but having a good day on the water is what is most important. Really enjoyed your post as there was lots of detail and felt like I was there with you going through all the things of your fishing adventure ...
